The best part about it is that the fabric is semi-transparent which means you can see through it and even light it from within.

The scales, made from a variety of different textiles are attached on the back. They are only attached on the top end which allows them to move. Tucking up the shirt a bit makes the scales layer up and create volume. The scales have a beautiful effect once lit from underneath.

About Henriette

I´m Henriette. I am in my 4th semester of my product design studies at the Bauhaus University, Germany. I am also a blacksmith. This semester is special though, because design and technology are coming together. As an interdisciplinary team we will create an interactive costume for the stage! To actually make this happen many of our divers skills are needed and that makes me quite excited about this project.
